We just want more affordable housing in Philly and public schools that don’t close. 🤷

The worst part about Trump’s “2028” joke at the 2026 White House Correspondents’ Dinner is that he and his people have been making it FOR ALMOST A YEAR AND A HALF.

The Federalist website’s response to today’s SCOTUS ruling on birthright citizenship seems… aggressive. And while it’s not FedSoc itself, it should be noted that Stephen Miller and Lauren Boebert are already parroting some of this bullshit.

Pin ‘em down. Get a commitment.
Threads post from account “grapeylyle” that read: The missing sentence is always the tell. "I regret voting for Trump. I was conned." Fine. But the sentence that matters is: "I am now supporting Democrats because they are the only vehicle available to stop this." Without that, it's just remorse cosplay. The fire is still burning. Regret is not a plan.

Remember when Trump speeches kept portraying immigrants to the US as coming from “insane asylums,” and people started wondering if he was misinterpreting the term “seeking asylum”? Maybe the Trump-as-doctor-not-Jesus argument is the same thing…

Is it just me, or are local and state governments/orgs using their own “America 250” graphics a lot more than the official logo commissioned by the US government? (Designed by the same firm that made the rounded-corner star logo for the bicentennial…)

Senate Republicans led efforts to block action to limit Trump’s as-yet-unauthorized militarization against Iran. While every one of these quislings need to be voted out, I did note this through-the-looking-glass moment from the New York Times.
Text from the New York Times that reads: [Rand] Paul was the only Republican leading the effort, and no other G.O.P. senators joined him in support of the measure. Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania was the only Democrat to break with his party and vote against the resolution, in keeping with his vocal stance in support of Israel and reluctance to place limits on the president's authority to act in its defense.

Screen capture of post from Threads that reads: What makes you think Republicans would care about Iranian schoolchildren being killed when they don't even care about American schoolchildren getting killed?

You’ve heard of “tl;dr”? Introducing ai;dr, coined by developer @minnigerode.org on Threads on Tuesday, February 10, 2026. You can say you were there at the birth of new slang/jargon.

Reporting from Reuters back in April of 2025: It’s not just Trump who wants Greenland but the usual suspects as well, using him as a conduit to get there. (Zoom in to read.)

I missed this back in August: Social Security’s chief data officer quit, basically saying ongoing misconduct and his inability to review it constituted a hostile work environment. This was his resignation letter (via @wired.com). He’s now running for Maryland’s state senate.

#Philly music fans and the radio industry gonna be sad for a while. Pierre Robert, in year 44 w/93.3 WMMR, just died. His last Thread went up Sunday. Our city reps rough, but Pierre was a beacon of kindness, a gem of a human. Gracious and calm to the end. An ambassador for his craft and hometown.
